In a surprising twist, American tennis star Amanda Anisimova has opened up about suffering a physical injury while on a mental health break from the sport, compounding her challenges during an already difficult time. The young talent, who stepped away from the intense pressures of the tour to focus on her mental well-being, now faces an unexpected physical setback that could delay her return to the court.
“I thought I was taking time to heal mentally, but then this injury happened—it was the last thing I needed,” Anisimova admitted in a heartfelt interview. While the exact nature of the injury remains unclear, the news of her physical struggles has stunned fans and added another layer of difficulty to her ongoing recovery.
Anisimova, who has been candid about the mental health toll that professional tennis can take, had hoped her break would allow her to regain focus and peace of mind. Instead, the injury has made her journey back to full health even more complex, as she now must balance both mental and physical rehabilitation.
Despite the setbacks, Anisimova remains optimistic, telling fans, “It’s been tough, but I’m determined to come back stronger. This just adds another challenge, and I’m ready to face it.”
As she continues her recovery, the tennis world is left rallying behind her, eager to see her overcome this double obstacle and return to the sport she loves, stronger and more resilient than ever before.
